Uptight People

There's so many up tight people these days The world is literally overflowing What's happened to those glorious days of yore Civility was all that was showing Maybe I'm dreaming, and things haven't changed Technology has changed you and I What once took a week for a letter to reach us Arrives now in the blink of an eye Most older folks talk of their good old days Every generation has their own Can't imagine what's in store for these guys today Will they live their last days in a home For this guy, just want to sail off into the sunset Be remembered as a decent kinda chap Not a hero, didn't invent a great new gadget As I puff away on my very last lap © Jack Ellison 2014
